The Donut Hole

John Tindall, Ed McCreany, and Jesse Hood built this whimsical La Puente, California, drive-thru sometime between 1967 and 1968. The original chain bakery went bust in 1979. Subsequent owners restored one of the large brown fiberglass rings after damage from a 2004 car crash. Local lore says newlyweds still visit the bakery as a fertility rite.

Collector Perk: Signed copy of ‘Gas and Glamour’ book, featured in Los Angeles Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian among others.
